my first Brewferm kit,Ambriox,brewed it,with 1kg of wilkos brewing sugar,and 200g of granulated sugar,smell was the best if ever had from a kit can,O.G 1.700,made it to 15 litres as it said on the can,hydrated the yeast(this is the first time ive done that)it should come out at 6.5%abv,problem...

brewed this last sunday,had a quick look to see how fermentation was going,all good,yet there was a strange sulphur type smell alongside the usual brewing smell,is this normal? the "eggy" smell only lasted for about 40 seconds :hmm:

full teaspoon of granulated sugar :sulk: even after 3 weeks in the bottle its still lively

just purchased one,after good reviews here,and elsewhere,cant wait to mash this one up,love my belgian beers,be great if i can re produce a belgian style,if you have ever been to Belgium you will know what i mean,a beer menu,over 30 types=heaven :P :drink:

my first re entery to homebrewing after 10/15 years,got my new equipment,went for a coopers aussie lager(had good reviews) tweaked it slightly wilko brewing sugar,and 500g of light brown sugar added,fermented for 2 weeks,O.G 1.500 FG 1.110 not bad,newbie fail :doh: over primmed the p.e.t...

no did it this afternoon in the fermenter bin to the 20L mark, ive been so used to making coopers and wilko 40 pint kits,i got confused :|

:doh: 24 pints not liters !!! :( i wonderd why the O.G was 1.450, ah well 5% barley wine it is then,i wish for a newbie like me,the instruction stuck to liters,and or pints,very confusing
